Chapter 245 Thank You, Mom!
Maggie found her words somewhat odd, yet upon deeper contemplation, she struggled to identify the reason behind her unease.
On the flip side, Nathael stayed calm and collected.
Clara gestured to the waiter to hand the menu to Maggie and gently recommended, “Their cuisine is delightful. Take a look at the menu and select whatever appeals to
you.
Expressing appreciation, Maggie responded gently. “I’m easygoing. You and Mr. Marcus can make the
choice.”

Demi took the lead with the menu and passed it to her, remarking, “Maggie, please don’t hesitate to order anything you desire. We’re all family here. There’s no need for formalities.”
Maggie felt a sense of warmth filling her heart, finding Demi particularly charming.
Her presence, comportment, and manner of speech were all highly attractive.
However, she couldn’t deny that Clara’s attitude towards her surpassed her expectations. Although in her past life it wasn’t particularly bad, the fact remained that her relationship with Nathael felt like a forced arrangement.
Throughout that period, her demeanour was marked by irritability and hostility, as she held onto feelings. of resentment directed towards Nathael. As a mother, Clara has surely seen through it.
“That’s right. Clara and I have made our selections for the dishes. Feel free to choose based on your preference, Marcus added, trying to adopt a gentler tone so as not to appear intimidating to his soon–to- be daughter–in–law.
Recognising their intentions, Maggie realised that persistently refusing would come across as excessively formal. Hence, she decided to order two dishes and then handed the menu to Nathacl.
Nathael stayed quiet as Clara chimed in, “It’s best to avoid alcohol during this particular time. Therefore, I asked the waiter to prepare some fruit juice for you. I trust it will be to your liking.”
Maggie sensed as though she had unwittingly stepped into a snare, with Nathael appearing to create unnecessary commotion.
However, recognising it as a gesture of kindness from an elder, Maggie readily agreed without any hesitation.
Following the exchange of pleasantries, Clara’s gaze lingered on Maggie, attentively studying her.
It must be noted that Maggie’s appearance was undeniably striking, radiating confidence along with a touch of aloofness. This blend bestowed upon her an aura of nobility.
She displayed self–assurance and conducted herself with an air of superiority.
Yet, there was an elusive quality about Maggie that she couldn’t quite identify.
Nevertheless, the ultimate concern lay in whether Nathsel found her captivating.

However, he exhibited minimal interest in women, only sporadically appearing with a female companion at events. Despite the media’s efforts to fabricate scandals, no evidence ever came to light.
Hence, it I was rather uncommon to witness his sudden interest in a woman.
“What do you think of Nathael’s personality, Maggie?” Clara asked in a gentle tone, tinged with curiosity.
After a brief moment of reflection, Maggie smiled and responded, “He possesses a kind and considerate nature. Although he may appear intimidating on occasion, it’s often fleeting.”
An unusual silence descended upon the private room in response to her words.
Clara was momentarily caught off guard, finding herself at a loss for words. Initially intending to inquire about their typical interactions, she was taken aback by Maggie’s unexpected reply.
Maggie seemed genuinely earnest, showing no signs of dismissiveness whatsoever.
However, since his early years, Shi Jin has maintained a certain distance, proving elusive and challenging to engage with. With time, he developed a stronger sense of determination and introspection. Even among his own kin, he earned a reputation for being distant and unyielding, let alone among those outside his circle.
